Plagiarized Videogame reviews?
I was looking up old reviews to see if Medal of Honor: Frontline for Gamecube was a good buy at 20 bucks.
Went to gamerankings.com to read a bunch of them at once, and came across this one from a site called Gamecube Advanced (which seems like a decent site):
http://www.ultimategamez.com/reviews/moh.shtml
This is by a guy named Patrick Potier. Then I came across this review at IGN, by (I think) Kaiser Hwang and Matt Casamassina:
http://cube.ign.com/articles/377/377161p2.html
Now, I have no idea... maybe the sites are affiliated, or someone's going by a different name, but the reviews are very, very similar. Is it just me? Kinda makes me wonder if people actually play the games when they review them...
